Title: Waves in Slow Motion
Description: This inquiry-based lesson provides an introduction to waves by using water waves to explore patterns of amplitude, wavelength, and frequency.  Students will investigate water waves in slow motion. This lesson results from a collaboration between the Alabama State Department of Education and ASTA.


Subject: Science (4)
Title: Riding the Waves!
Description: During this lesson, students will learn the different aspects of a wave, including the crest, trough, wavelength, and amplitude. Additionally, they will learn that waves cause objects to move.  At the end of the lesson, they will be able to develop a model of waves and describe patterns. This could be the first lesson into waves that can jump start other lessons on other types of waves. This lesson results from a collaboration between the Alabama State Department of Education and ASTA.
